Thank you, Eski and thanks to everybody else to for the help and time invested. Eventually settled for 'layout plan' as I found other similar references to my context on Google for. For 'boceto' I used '(rough) sketch'.4 KudoZ points were awarded for this answer

Why have you changed the classification of the question to 'Non-pro'? If it were that straightforward I would only have received one suggestion with lots of 'agrees'. There are many words in Spanish that can mean 'sketch' for example (Croquis, boceto and apunte are 3 of these) but obviously there are differences between them, depending on the context in which they are used. If it's that obvious why haven´t you submitted your own suggestion or agreed with one of those already posted???

Just to say that in my text I also have 'boceto', which I posted in an earlier question, and plan to use 'sketch' as a translation for this, so I can´t really use the same for 'croquis' - they must be different things in some way. Here's soem more text that mentions 'croquis':

Have been translating the latest Royal Decree that will bring Spanish Food Standards in-line with European Standards for the last 9 days... So I'm losing the will to live at this stage basically.... that's why I found your quandary 'funny'...

I see what you mean about being confused between 'boceto', 'borrón', 'croquis' and 'apunte' alright! I was about to start researching one of the options, until I saw all the others, and thought - Night!! (sorry, that wasn't a particularly helpful comment...)

Explanation:Or, diagram. In a slightly different context, croquis could be a hand-drawn map

Nick Robinson: Scale Drawings are mentioned...perhaps this is a better option.

-> Thanks Nick, as far as I know, Croquis is "layout", and sketch; "boceto"- at least that's how I've seen the two terms used during my last 30 years as a designer. Saludos! eski
